It's an educational tool. Treat what it tells you as a starting point — not as medical guidance.
An AI coaching app for women athletes. It synthesizes information from sports medicine literature, female athlete physiology research, and ACOG/IOC consensus statements. It's the coach who actually understands how women's bodies work.
Shaped works best alongside real medical care. Find a physician who understands female athletes for perimenopause, thyroid, or hormone concerns. See a pelvic floor PT postpartum (we'll keep saying this). Get bloodwork. Have an OB/GYN for cycle, fertility, and pregnancy concerns.
Shaped will not program aggressive dieting or hard training progression during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or TTC. This is non-negotiable. Your OB/MFM is the primary decision-maker during these life stages — Shaped is at most a supportive resource alongside that care.
If your menstrual cycle disappears while training and dieting, that is your body telling you about energy availability. Shaped will say so. Listen.
Severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding outside a normal period, signs of preeclampsia (severe headache, vision changes, RUQ pain), suspected pregnancy, severe psychiatric symptoms, thoughts of harming yourself or others — these are emergencies. Call your doctor, go to the ER, or call 988 (US crisis line) or your local equivalent.
Shaped makes you a more informed athlete. It does not replace the humans whose job it is to keep you healthy.
